* Package name : kicad-symbols Version : 5.x.x+$date Upstream Author : KiCad Community * URL : https://kicad.github.io/symbols/ * License : CC-BY-SA 4.0 with exception* Programming Lang: Plain text Description : schematic symbols for KiCad's Eeschema editor Eeschema is a powerful schematic capture software distributed as part of KiCad. A schematic design with Eeschema is heavily based on the availability of schematic symbols which needed to be used for creating of own schematics. Due the flexibility of Eeschema and the nature of community driven development of schematics for KiCad with a fast evolution of symbols for Eeschema it's difficult to keep track of the new and updated symbols with the more static releases of KiCad itself (currently the schematic symbols are available by kicad-common). Thus it makes sense to keep the packaging of symbols for Eeschema in a own source package as this makes it easier to provide updated packages not only for unstable/testing. kicad-symbols will be a part of the transition of the existing kicad-common package into own pieces. The package will be maintained in the pkg-electronics-team together with Jean-Samuel Reynaud (maintainer of the daily build PPA for Ubuntu). We will try to keep the package the same in Debian and Ubuntu.
